The problem is that even if I set the default gateway to MB, it's DHCP. 
Supposedly Vyatta sets a default gateway weight to avoid this, but I 
haven't been able to have time to debug it.  I'll come over to NB tonight 
to debug.

I'm going to setup a virtual router on stallion as a backup for bikeshed.

I already have a backup of this and implemented most of it in the vyatta 
config.

Let me show you where we're at tonight.
